Robin Roberts Is Back

If you turned on Good Morning America this morning, you probably noticed a familiar face. Robin Roberts is back after a six month absence. It honestly did not feel that long because even though she was no on the air everyday, it seemed like ABC and Robin did their best to keep her very much in the public eye and not to let audiences forget about her. Considering that most audiences love her like I love bacon, that is probably a smart move on their part and why they continued to crush Today even while she was gone. Huh. Robin is likable and the show wins. Matt Lauer is not likable and their show loses. Seems simple when you put it that way.

The women who read my local news were beyond happy for today. They have Robin or usually Josh do a lead in to GMA at around 630 every morning on my news and those two were in tears, that's how happy they were.

I like her but I think the network is using her illness & comeback as ratings gold to make for the a*holery that is Matt Lauer & what they did to Ann Curry. Hope she gets a very good offer from a better show!

Yeah, sorry, but it was all a bit too much. She's a t.v. host, which is good for her, but give me a break. There are lots of terrific under-valued un-promoted people out there who are far sicker. This reeks of ratings hyper vigilance.

I read the Kneepads story about her, and her mom died right before she got the bone marrow transplant. She isn't married, so she went through this without those important supports. And she has a great attitude and doesn't feel sorry for herself. As someone who suffers from a chronic illness, she is an inspiration

Again, I don't get the criticism. Robin is happy to be back, ABC is happy to have her back. Of course they were going to promote the daylights out of it. One of their own–who had been VERY sick–was returning.

GMA is already getting great ratings. Does Robin's return bring in more numbers? Sure. But's it pretty cynical to take that from the situation.

I didn't leap to squat, the side-eye attitude was already planted. I just pointed it out.

Me too green mountain! She's so plain and boring, she might as well be vanilla pudding. Her and George are so put of place. I wish they'd bring Biana Goligreva (sp) or the blonde that filled in for a robin (her name always escapes me) and make Josh the main anchor. Him and Robin have such great chemistry. George is nice but belongs on the political Sunday morning shows.

Sit down the glass of wine and go back and read your first comment. you made a snide comment towards anyone who was not over the moon about Robin being back. Several of us commentors didn't practice perfect herd mentality and you got snippy. But yeah it was just your humble opinion.

I think she's as boring as rice pudding. I watch ABC's World News Now (love Rob Nelson), and the promos for Robin returning were way too much. I understand she was sick. I get that they care about their fellow newscaster, but there was WAY too much promotion about it.

That said…really over promoting the networks? Of course, it is always for ratings. Just once, I would love it if these network shows tried new people, really talented people who just need a chance…but no it is not to be.
